Also at Maxwell is the Air Force's Aerospace Basic Course for all newly commissioned Second Lieutenants. On the other side of Montgomery, Alabama is Gunter Annex where the Senior Noncommissoned Officer Academy is located. A number of years ago it was decided in the Air Education and Training Command that on one side of the city you had newly minted butter bars, and on the other side of the city you had the crusty Senior NCO’s. Why not put them together for a week? It actually turned out quite well. We Senior NCO’s were able to let the Lieutenants know that we will help them in their careers as long as they let us help them. Loads of educational opportunities. (And we didn't laugh too hard at them)

When did the Senior NCO Adademy get started? I was at Gunter from 1973-1979, when it was part of AFDSDC. Worked in various locations on base, including the Blockhouse and the "fertilizer" building.
